Nicola Bulley has been missing for a week
Police believe the 45-year-old mother-of-two fell into the river while out with her dog on Friday, January 27, at around 9am. In a new update from Lancashire Constabulary issued this afternoon , officers say that her disappearance is currently not being treated as suspicious but as a "tragic case of a missing person", the BBC has reported.
Paul Ansell, Ms Bulley's partner, has spoken out publicly for the first time since the mother-of-two went missing, the Independent reports. "It’s now a week since the mum of two went missing and since last Friday we have been carrying out extensive searches in the area along with many other enquiries in the background.The force has issued a timeline of what they can confirm were the timings from the morning Nicola was last seen:8:50am - A dog-walker – somebody who knows Nicola – saw her walking around the lower field with her dog. Their two dogs interacted briefly before the witness left the field via the river path9.
Superintendent Sally Riley said: “It’s now a week since Nicola went missing and her disappearance has understandably caused a huge amount of concern and upset in the local community, as well as being an absolutely awful time for her family. As a mum I can’t begin to imagine the suffering they are going through. We are supporting them as best we can and keeping them updated on our efforts to try and find Nicola.
“This remains a missing person enquiry and we will continue to carry out searches and to do everything we can to find Nicola and provide her family and the community with the answers they desperately need.
